The poblano cream sauce on the chicken was SO GOOD and just the right spice/heat level.

The chorizo and Oaxaca cheese with spinach inside was also a great combo with the very juicy chicken breast. Can't wait to order again!

Stand outs were the flaming tequila saganaki appetizer, kiddie mocktail options, and tons of hot options like Chile rellenos, tacos, elotes, and burritos. My kids didn't really like the mac and cheese (stating it was tooooo cheesy), but it looked decent and used cavatappi noodles. My $12 carnitas burrito was a great deal and enough for 2 meals. Our $100 bill covered: - a frozen mango margarita (towers, which are equivalent of 5 margaritas, are available too) - cosmo martini - saganaki appetizer lit up table side - elotes tamales - carnitas burrito - 2 kids' meals - complimentary chips and salsa - tax and 20% tip Service was extremely attentive and pleasant! Recommending this to all, and can't wait to go back when in the area! Adios!

We've been here a few times now and have never left disappointed. Our absolute favorites are the Pad See Ew and the Panang curry. The Pad See Ew is so good we actually have to order two, otherwise it disappears before you know it! The Panang curry is pure comfort food and pairs perfectly with rice. Shout out to the owner, Jay, who is always so kind and welcoming. The kitchen accidentally got one of our orders wrong during a visit, and he immediately comped the dish. Amazing food and stellar service--we're so glad we found this place!

Inside space is nicely laid out - I liked chill vibe of the restaurant. However, they have interesting set up for order - you have to use kiosk to place the order and I didn't see much of change options for entrees like ramen change requests. The food that I got was very delicious- enjoyed it and portions were generous. I felt it would have been even more nice to have some sake options to go with this food.

I love Lucky Monk. My friend and I have come here a few times for Happy Hour because they have…read moregreat Happy Hour food deals, which I appreciate a lot as someone who doesn't drink much. The deal is half off apps, but if you enjoy an adult beverage, the house-brewed drafts are also half off. M-Th 3-6pm, dine-in only. At least that's what it is right now. I feel like it changes, so maybe call beforehand to confirm. I only got pics of the nachos this time, which really doesn't do it full justice because they're bigger than they look in the photo. Food is always good and consistent, there's nothing really to complain about regarding service or prices, and parking has always been really easy, though that could be because we typically go on Tuesdays. I imagine weekends could be a little bit busier, but the place is pretty big, so even if you have to wait, I don't think that you'd be waiting that long. The vibe is also casual and low-key.

I had been here with my daughter about 12 years ago and remembered enjoying it then. We all had burgers and craft beer. My friends went with the Mad Max (burger of the month) and I went with a peppercorn and blue cheese burger. It was thumbs up for all of us on the burgers as well as the beer, which was unique and delicious. I took no pictures that day and just enjoyed the outing with friends, but I was especially impressed with the taste of my burger. I abstained from adding any of my usual condiments, and decided to try it as is, with just their sauce. Best decision ever! The sauce was amazing and the burger was cooked a perfect medium. Like many restaurants, Luck Monk offers their regular menu, plus flyers on their specials, including beers and cocktails. Four days later, I went right back there again on my own, to formally review it with photos. I had to go with that same peppercorn burger, because it was just so good, and to make sure the first time was a fluke. It wasn't. I tried out their chili as well, which was also good. This chef knows what he is doing. This stand alone restaurant is easy to get to, and has ample parking. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and looks high end, though I found the pricing to be reasonable. It would be a great spot to take clients for a business lunch. It's elegant looking , but unpretentious. The hostess and servers are wonderful. I highly recommend the Lucky Monk!

We came in at a great time, 12:30pm. At that point there were maybe 10 other people. By 1pm though there was at least 30-40 guests. The ambiance is similar to a taqueria. You definitely get taken out of Streamwood and placed into Mexico. Music is very loud which can be an issue to some. For food I had the taco duo which came with 2 tacos (I picked Al pastor), as well as refried beans and rice. The tacos were DELICIOUS. Flavorful, good portion, and juicy. The rice and beans were meh. Kind of bland but I've had worse. I did hear others complain about some of the proteins not being available (ground beef). This wasn't an issue for me but could be if someone was coming here strictly for that. For $7.99 I thought this was a great and fair lunch special offered Monday - Friday. It kept me full and happy until dinner.

The food is less than desirable. It is a self service restaurant but when paying they ask if u want to tip. I don't know why tips are necessary when it is all self service and they provide zero service. If you have leftovers they will give you boxes, but no bag. You have to dispose of any trash yourself. No busboy. Water is free and you can refill it yourself. Like I said before...self service. We ordered the following: * Steamed Classic Momos - a couple were stuck to the plate and all the filling came out. The others were falling apart. The overall taste was not good. The chutney was spicy and not bad. * Punjabi Samosa - it tasted like frozen samosas reheated. Did not taste fresh. * Aloo Paratha - It was ok but tastes like it was reheated from frozen. Lots of ghee. * Paneer Tikka Masala - It was sweet and had zero spicy flavor. First time having any tikka masala taste sweet. * Palak Paneer - It tasted like grass. Lacked any in depth flavor. * Garlic Naan - It was so paper thin it could have been a crispy cracker. Do not recommend eating here. Disappointed.
